Southampton (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

[SamTheGuru]

Thought 2nd place was a possibility. Shows what I know. Not scoring on a team that has gone 20+ matches without a clean sheet.

Tis the City way.

 

[hertsblue]

Embarrassing.
82 goals conceded, 2 clean sheets in 47 games and we give them a point,
Pep fucked up yet again with his starting 11, far too slow with subs, really now questioning if throwng money at new players will benefit us if he persists with his outdated slow sideway tactics.
Please sack our fucking useless set piece coach tonight, employing him sums up all that is wrong with us. Slow non creative players in midfield, worst selection of wide players in the PL, none score or assist. A striker who rsrely makes runs.
More than half that teams needs replacing or its not even top 8 ne t season.

Never been a grealish fan and thought he was an unnecessary signing at £100m. However, surely he should be given a fuckin chance in that game given we were offering nothing

 

[Metal Biker]

3rd place the target, then.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Total Shit

 

[mcfcpride]

And that's why Pep's time should be up.

You need to win the game and there was nothing offered in that first half.


See the difference Doku made and then O'Reilly, Marmoush and, to a lesser extent, Savinho.


Why on earth didn't they start?

 

[Bluewonder]

How Pep turns us into a top side again heaven only knows. Maybe a change is needed

Cos he regularly struggles to make top teams, doesn't he.

 

[ManCitizens.]

Team worked perfectly just one of those games where we couldn't score. Calm down you fannys

it was one of those days but it’s not like Ramsdale had to make 5 wonder saves. We were poor and created fuck all.

 

[Scottyboi]

That's not on Pep today. Not for me. The system worked perfectly, the lads just couldn't get it done.

He should maybe have put Marmoush on earlier, but otherwise the usually reliable old guard let him down.

Starting Mcatee, Foden and Lewis. Zero width just allowing Soton to sit deep whilst we played everything Infront of them. Course it is on Pep.

 

[Lee the Blue]

Bizarre team selection, then a complete waste of the first half. Marmoush created more in his 5 Mins on the pitch then the rest of the front players combined - waiting 85 mins to introduce him I find utterly baffling.

Turn up at Wembley next week & serve up shit like that and we'll get stuffed. No pace, no urgency, nobody wants to shoot & the old codgers in midfield moved the ball at walking football pace.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Pep changed an unspectacular but winning formula thinking it’s only Southampton and paid the price

 

[madloaf]

Only thing more embarassing than that result is this thread.

Its only 12 pages in. Just getting warmed up.

 

[Gaz76]

Where to start with that shite!! Pep blew it with that team selection, the KDB fairwell tour could cost us champions league.
Haaland coming back into the team slowed us right down
Foden couldn't beat a blind man at I spy
Big chance we could go to the last game of the season needing a win, be the cherry on the cake of this shit show season if the rags get champions league and we dont

 

[Keeper!]

Walking football, how the mighty have fallen

 

[HypnoticBlue]

shite performance!
Pep sort ya neck out, it’s really not funny any more.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Lewis is never good enough, needs to go. Same with McAtee.

Bernardo is done, he offers nothing.

Get some players in with pace and energy and some fucking goal threat.

 

[Cobwebcat]

To drop points here when top 4 is needed is very poor. Sorry but on the manager again for me. He’s had a worse season than the players.

We need to spend big in the summer & what’s the point letting pep do it for only one season. Crazy to let pep spend if he’s going.

I love pep but for me it’s time to say goodbye end of the season. He’s running on empty just like most of our old boys.

We need new energy to motivate the club & let the new manager spend the cash

Top 5

 

[Damanino]

Pep was found out now by whoever is Sotons manager. simple as that.

watch Soton last two games vs Everton away and Arsenal home, they will lose both conceding about 5-6 at least in those two games.

sadly just as many players underperforming this season at City, but Pep too. all week preparation and him and Lillo came up with this.

can only hope they put in more work vs preparing for Palace.

 

[middle-englandblue]

CL now in the balance again, a win today would have virtually wrapped it up, now 2 very tricky games to handle

 

[bluemoonste]

Absolutely unacceptable performance.

Same players who've let us down all season, underperformed again.

Old, slow, dull and boring.

Which is why we bought 4 players in January. Where the fuck are they ??
